Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 You may want to try piracetam. Its a neuroprotective/nootropic.. It seems to help me in many situations in which I feel bad. Your mileage may vary, though. Everybody is different. Piracetam and its relatives work on the GABA-nergic system.. They improve memory and neural functioning, and are often used to normalize brain processes. They can rotect against a wide range of toxins. Even gamma radiation, like NAC does! When I was getting a lot of mold exposure, I would always find it very hard to sleep and piracetam always calmed my mind down and gave me a few hours of relief from the mold headaches. (Usually around six hours of relief, which is its duration of action.) You may also want to try cholestyramine (sucks low-molecular-weight biotoxins out of your bile where they accumulate) Taurine increases bile flow.. I know that. Its also calming, so is magnesium..

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 , Have you thought about asking this 'doctor' for your money back, or going to the Better Business Bureau to make a complaint about his/her taking your money but not treating you? " CFS is not an illness " is wrong, and its against current medical wisdom. Even the CDC (!!!) has now acknowledged that CFS is a disease, so your 'doctor' was way out in left field for saying CFS is a psychological condition and you would be within your rights, i think to demand a refund because he did not give you what you were paying him for. If more people did this, then we wouldn;t have this problem with so called 'doctors'. Thats the whole idea of the medical marketplace. They ask us to pay, but for what, being insulted? Seriously.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 You need a new doctor. The one you have is worthless.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks for your answers. She is really one of the worst doctors I know but unfortunately we don't have any CFS specialists here in Germany. It's really hard to discuss things over and over again without moving forward at all. That's why I want to try it the non- prescription-way with supplements and herbs. I did not have to pay anything because I have a non private health insurance which would be ranged between a normal insurance and Medicare in the US. I bought some valerian root today and will add some magnesium + histamine blockers later. I'll tell you if it works.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi , Here are some things (all nonprescription) that Amy Yasko recommends for GABA-gluatmate balancing (which seems to be more or less the same as Cheney's GABA-NMDA): Pycnogenol Grape seed extract GABA Branched Chain Amino Acids (ONLY leu/ileu/val) (discontinue immediately if urines smell like " maple syrup " ) Sublingual cyanocobalamine (B12) Sublingual hydroxycobalamine (B12) Nerve Calm RNA Trina manuel_hbr <einfachzumerken@...> wrote: I read the Dr. Cheney paper about benefits of Klonopin and since I have light and noise sensitivity it was very interesting. Unfortunately the neurologist I have been to did not want to prescribe anything to me. " Cfs is no illness...you are depressive...blabla " She did not take a look into the two pages of the Centers for Disease which I brought her. I showed her the papers of Dr. Cheney but she did not want to read the abstarcts about GABA and NMDA. I explained it to her and she said " Well Mr. Huber we practise medicine, I don't know who this Dr. Cheney is but I certainly don't believe in such nonsense. " She got very emtional then and started stuttering ^^ until we both calmed done some minutes later. Dr. Cheney lists Magnesium/Taurine and Histamine Blockers as NMDA blockers and Klonopin, Neurontin, valerian root as GABA agonists. I used to take some magnesium tablets but I did not feel any change. Since I cannot get prescriptions for the other meds I'd really love to know what I could to in order to improve my light/noise sensitivity. What kind of valerian root does Dr. Cheney recommend? Is there anything else I can to in order to increase GABA or reduce NMDA? I'm looking forward to reading your answers.
